Updating international consensus on best practice in care of the dying: A Delphi study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Good care of the dying has been defined as being able to die in the place of your choice, free from pain, cared for with dignity and supported by the best possible care. This definition underpinned the development of the '10/40 Model' of care for the dying, in 2013. The model includes 10 'Key Principles' that underpin 40 'Core Outcomes' of care. It was necessary to update consensus on the 10/40 Model to ensure that it remains clinically relevant and applicable for practice.

Aim

Update international consensus on the content of the 10/40 Model.

Design

Delphi study utilising questionnaire completion; each round informed the need for, and content of the next. Free text comments were also sought. Three rounds of Delphi were undertaken.
